Islanders down Kings in OT

Feb 12, 2012 - 12:13 AM Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - Mark Streit netted the game-winning goal 96 seconds into overtime as the New York Islanders downed the Los Angeles Kings, 2-1.

Michael Grabner scored the lone goal in regulation for the Islanders, who bounced back from Thursday's loss to Montreal. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 34-of-35 shots to pick up the win.

Andrei Loktionov lit the lamp in regulation for the Kings, who are 1-4 on their six-game road trip and have tallied just four times during the stretch. Jonathan Quick made 23 saves.

"It's frustrating not getting the win, but at the same time getting one point can be so critical, especially down the stretch," Kings center Mike Richards said.

On the game-winner, Streit skated down the middle of the ice and eluded Milan Jurcina in the high slot before snapping his backhander past Quick.

"I just took a shot at it and tried to (and) went through them. Luckily enough it worked out and got the game-winner," Streit said.

The Islanders struck first at the 6:52 mark of the opening period. Mark Eaton's slap shot from the top of the left circle was deflected in front of Quick. Grabner pounced on the loose disc in the crease and wristed it into the net.

Los Angeles tied the score on Loktionov's first tally of the season, 5:20 into the second. Rob Scuderi sent a slap shot on net from the top of the left circle and Loktionov put home the rebound.

Quick stopped 12 shots while Nabokov made 11 saves in the third period to send the game into overtime.
